March weather forecast
Ban Lum, Thailand

The first month of the spring, March, is a fiery hot month in Ban Lum, Thailand, with an average temperature ranging between max 37.1°C (98.8°F) and min 25°C (77°F).

Temperature

The commencement of March records an average high-temperature of a very hot 37.1°C (98.8°F), barely varying from February's 34.8°C (94.6°F). Following the sharp contrast to daytime warmth, an average nighttime temperature of 25°C (77°F) gets registered during March.

Heat index

In March, the average heat index is evaluated at a scorching 41°C (105.8°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Humidity

March is the least humid month, with an average relative humidity of 40%.

Rainfall

In Ban Lum, in March, it is raining for 7.8 days, with typically 19mm (0.75") of accumulated precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 193.8 rainfall days, and 911mm (35.87") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

February through April, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 8 to 10 represents a very high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The UV index of 8 during March leads to these advisories:
Always use protective measures; unprotected skin might suffer damage in a short span. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
